So, KJ, are your stamps in univenture type binders? That's what it looks like on your shelves. And I assume you still have some in CD cases? Or am I totally off base?

Looks wonderful!

Yes, those are the binders... I ran out... The CD Cases are how I DID have them stored!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! but, miss SEEING them all on display! lol I still have to stamp the sheets so I know what sentiments I have... images are easy... I pretty much know those by heart!!!

I found a site where I can get more for $5.99 though... the BIG ones!!!!

I used to know what images I have but now I have so many stamps that I found a LOT of forgotten images when I changed my storage scheme over to EVERYTHING by theme. That meant breaking up my sets I'm not done with that project but so far I really like the results. We'll see how it goes long-term.

If you want to see my crafty room, I just posted a tour in my gallery. LOTS of pictures!

Love your crafts spaces ladies. I don't have a dedicated space (or place to work for that matter) but my dream vacation is for my husband to take the kids someplace for a week so I can stay home an organize.

Val, Michaels also had Spellbinder snowflakes (7) & the tree with 2 ornaments (3) but I went back yesterday as I thought about compulsive buying & put both back....urgh.

LOL! It doesn't hurt us once in a while to show a little restraint. I never stopped to check out the sale at Michaels as I thought I had spent enough in the past few weeks. I still have orders that I'm waiting for from 4 places, and only one of those was for a HYCCT prize.

KelliJo, Your storage space looks terrific! My eye was drawn to all the things in bottles and jars! It all looks so inviting; a great place to work; can I come and play at your house?

Diane, I'll go look at your gallery to see your craft space. I'd have to come in with a bulldozer to clear everything out before I could do any major organizing here. However, I do have a pretty good grasp of what I have. I can't remember if I ever purchased a duplicate stamp. I have two friends who only have a small fraction of what I do, and they are always buying duplicates.

I used to have all my images, punches and dies cataloged, but got behind for awhile, then it got so out of control that it would take weeks to catch up - especially with all the new stuff I've received / ordered in the past few weeks. What makes it a little more difficult is that I have MY stuff and stuff that belongs to the church for the Card Ministry. I do a pretty good job of keeping them separate and marked (VER or CM) but I'd almost have to have two catalogs. If (when) I die, I won't care if the heir to the Card Ministry stuff also gets my stuff. My daughter might want a few things, but not much.

I went to your gallery! So much fun to see all the organization! I like the little touches you have of the stuffed bears etc!!!

Diane, I just took a thorough tour through your Craft Space photos in your gallery and sent you a long PM. I am so amazed at how organized you are and have marked one of the photos as a fav so I can go back and check them all for future organization ideas. Thanks for much for sharing!

Thanks for the tour Diane! It's good to see how other organize. I am beginning a reorganization and it helps

Val...I keep offering to help people organize their crafty spaces if they want to pay my plane fare to get there and put me up for a couple of days. Nobody has taken me up on it yet!

Good afternoon ladies! I'm planning on ordering Tombo Mono Refills in bulk but haven't before and I was wondering if any of you buy yours in bulk and if so what company you purchase them from? I'm always trying to hunt up coupons for refills (the three packs at Michaels) and my husband's been saying "why don't you just order them in bulk" so.....

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I ordered in bulk from Penwa. I got a really large order and it's lasted over a year but I think it brought the price down to something like $2.50 ea. A couple times I split orders with friends to get the lowest price.

Still haven't been stamping yet, but got most of the Christmas stuff dealt with and got to go shopping with my girls this afternoon. Found a bunch of goodies at M's including some really pretty crocheted flowers in the Christmas $ stuff marked down to .25 and some fun foam and button embellishments. There were also some great BG stamps for .79 and a pack of Christmas dp and plain paper for .89. I should be set for next Christmas and some of the stuff will work well for now too. All in all I spent a few more $$ than I'd planned but it was fun!

so... did I mention that hubs bought me that big shot for Christmas? ( well it has a new home on top of my paper racks today) ( the big tall one was cut in half then a board was bought for the top for it to park on...)

and here's the funny part. it intimidates me. I ordered the skinny die shim thing, ( not here yet ) so the one time I played this week was to do some diecuts and I used my bug...

You are going to love it!!!! I was so new to everything last year when I got mine for my birthday that I watched youtube videos several times to help me get over the intimidation!

What did we do before youtube? I look it up for everything these days!

Just to let you know I looked at the pics of your craft room (drooling here!) and then spent LOTS of time browsing your gallery. Wonderful cards and lots of inspiration. Can you say CASE?

I shot some mug shots of the space today... going to have to re-shoot some tomorrow because, I shot them as soon as I went up stairs and then I grabbed the paint and touched up where the glue/staples are in the shelves hubs made yesterday... here's some for now will do better ones then put them in the gallery tomorrow maybe. ( tomorrow the extra shims will come for the big shot too)

GA! I LOVE the Mason jars for your buttons!!!! That room is SUPER COZY!!!!! LOVE it!!! I gotta say the lip on the shelf is GENIOUS!!!!! I'd be knockin those suckers over! LOL I'm kinda like a bull in a china shop!

I like the way you set your stamps out on display. And the Big Shot looks like a perfect fit!

Connie, I have been crafting and collecting antiques for over 20 years... this was not an instant room shot its a ( it breeds in the dark ) is what I tell hubs... but, since we end up junking together he knows what I will pick up and just picks that stuff up and hands it to me now...

Ditto about the Big Shot. I love mine and use it constantly! I don't know what the skinny shim thing is, but I haven't needed it so I guess it doesn't matter. When I first got the Big Shot I wasn't sure whether I got the right tool (instead of CB or Cricket, etc.), but I have since come to the conclusion that the Big Shot was the absolute perfect tool for my purposes. I've never missed not having any other.

I agree also about YouTube. It is amazing the things you can learn about there. I sometimes spend hours just browsing videos.

A terrific looking work space. I guess this is one time that I wish I had a hubs who would build me something pretty.

But PUH-lease tell me that most people's craft spaces looks more like mine than the fantastic spaces we've seen here recently. There will be no photos of my space posted. LOL!
